Introduction
Marshe Hall is a manor house of around 1604, occupying an earlier medieval moated site. In the 19th century, there were grounds defined to the north-east, north-west and south-west by roads or tracks. It is possible that the grounds, particularly to the north-west, west and south-west of the hall, were planted with trees.
